Punx. Only a tiny bit more expensive, but well worth it. More pop, more stable, more symmetrical, lighter, more durable, more trusted.

Punx, the press is a beginner pricepoint ski, and is not even a full twin. (At least not this years)

if you were to pick the press over the punx, it could wreck your season. the press is a begginer ski, if you are a "quality" park skier, than you will destroy the press. the punx are solid, can hit rails and kinks all day long and will stay together. every atomic park rider skis on the punx, and no k2 riders ski on the press

Punx all the way. Punx are way lighter and so much pop to them. And considering your size of 100lbs punx all the way!

The punx could kill the press on any part of the mountain! the punx are an amazing ski and i would be shocked if you could find something bad to say about it!

PRESS is not a beginner ski. It is an inexpensive ski becasue it is an existing shape but now built with Jib Rocker. The team doesn't film on the Press because the sample size is 169 and they all ride 179.

You can watch some of Antti Ollila's insane edits on the PRESS in the videos here on NS.
